If this post hits FP I'll go to Sambisa to fight Shekau and his men.

You probably won't believe this but there's nothing you want to learn that's not on YouTube for free.

Bluffly:
The jobs are low profile job and I see nothing wrong in selecting MC as he is close to the grassroots wandering youths as well

It's always a thing of joy to spot a knowledgeable person in the midst of ignorant people. Thank you.

Let me use the Dammmmm Niggarrrrr talk for the first time.... You mean AGBERO WILL BE IN CHARGE OF SELECTING GRADUATE'S FOR A SUPPOSED GRADUATES JOB... this can only happen in Lagos, courtesy of tinubu

It's not a recruitment for graduates.

Correct marketing

The thread is filled with many ignorant answers. Javascript that came out in 1995 the same time as java is what is called new and shiny. The same javascript that is being used in machine learning with tensorflowjs and can be used to make desktop applications with electron.

The way these people have branded ignorance as fact here makes me feel sick!

Hello Friend,

I advice you as a Programmer doing Website Design & Software development and not a Website designer.

I am also assuming you said "Programming" as a career switch and not website design.

If family or girlfriend is not in the way, go to a good computer college and enroll for C++ & Java programming or Python. You can even write oracle Java certification later on to boost your career.

To succeed in anything, you will need a considerable amount of time learning, practice and internalising. You will be patient while learning and honing your skills.

Don't waste time with YouTube or online coding schools. It's for those that already know their way around coding.

Do not go for HTML5, css and JavaScript lessons. Do not go for new and shiny stuffs like Js and the likes. You can add those later when you have mastered Core programming languages.

Web Design is not real career. Don't come to be begging for website design on Nairaland.com like a good number of us.

Take this advice from a 39yo man like you and you will not regret it.

Cheers.

How on earth is Javasctipt new and shiny stuff? Have you seen the latest developer insights from Stackoverflow

GrantCashel:
I ve taken the most unconventional approach to learning programming.
Being unserious in secondary school, it affected my progress in 2018.
You need to settle any problem you have with math if you dont want any issues. Google pdfdrive.com and download in this order developmental math for college students, college algebra and trigonometry, linear algebra, classical geometry, calculus, advanced calculus, vector calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations. If you want to avoid begging to build websites on nairaland, avoid web development, android or any shiny applications until you're theoretically grounded.

This is a very wrong and disjointed take. How can one double down on a fallacy? Think about the young souls you'll mislead with this and ask God for forgiveness.

Hello bro, I've now to a large extent mastered HTML and CSS. What would you advise me now?

Hi, when you say mastered do you mean you can now build a website from scratch? You have no problem with layouts? You can make a site responsive regardless of the screen size? If yes then move to learn javasctipt.

It's not that easy getting remote jobs with companies in the EU because of their labour policies. Many companies would prefer to even sponsor your visa and pay for relocation rather than give you a remote role when you live outside the EU, especially if you are in Africa.

Getting a job is not easy. I know about the relocation thing but recently especially during this covid wahala. Companies are opening up EMEA positions.

Sunexy:
Bro do you have any link to apply for European IT jobs remotely??

Stackoverflow, Indeed, Google, Github are the surest links I know.

flexyrule:
Am here to read lies...
Between all these remote working IT guys and the so-called social media influencers, I don't know which category lie most about their earnings...

I know these jobs exist, but the way it is being portrayed... You will just resign your small 200k job and go and start learning one IT course, only to see yourself in square 1.

Nooo it's not always like that. The common thing about people who get these jobs is experience. It's practically impossible for a newbie to hit it big.

thenaijacoder:
Well, the pay isn't that much $500 per month but it is quite okay for me though.

I would have aksed for more but i am not good at negotiating so i went with the flow.

This is the reason why I target European remote jobs, this time zone thing can be wild.

Btw your pay is verrrryyyyy low, you are being exploited, even if you are a beginner you should be earning double of your current pay. Most of the folks I know earn 2k dollars upwards.

Life while studying:

Germany: better chance of visa, better student benefits, world class Universities, less expensive, better job opportunity after studying, chance to make more money, more discrimination, bureaucracy, more peaceful people, less police harassment, bigger cities, better connected for traveling around, German language is not popular outside Germany.

Netherlands: better student life, happier/more friendly people, more expensive, boring, good for weed smokers, open minded people, more beautiful people, less discrimination, more English speakers, easier to find English speaking student jobs, less bureaucracy, more racial profiling by police, Dutch language can be useful in other Dutch speaking countries.

Life After Studying:

Germany: better chance to get a job, more global, better chance to save money, better pay, robotic work environment, better integration, better chance to become a citizen, average salary €3,700 (before tax), 18 months to find a job, better chance to extend work visa or take up another study.

Netherland: more relaxed working environment, more international working environment, higher chance of working for an international company, higher chance of finding an English speaking job, hard to save money, more black people in good job positions, fewer good job cities, less opportunities, can get a job in another Dutch speaking country if you learn the language, 1 year to find a job, average salary €2,800 (before tax), requires 10 years before applying for citizenship.

Process of obtaining permanent residency is similar in both countries.

There's a slight error here with regards to the number of years before applying for citizenship. It's just Five years.

RiyaGoddess:
Thanks. SSCE.
She said she wants to be with her children...

In that case, I think the best bet will be student visa (Germany or Finland) check their respective threads to know more about the requirements but please don't give a kobo to any agent.

If they'll take the student visa route it will be practically impossible to go with your mum.

RiyaGoddess:
Really?
Tell me about it?
Good evening Sir.

I think the first thing you're doing wrong is trying to relocate your mum, my mum is of the same age and quite strong too but I know her limits and won't even try to push it. At this age what's left for them is to sit down, relax and let their children take care of them.

Second thing you need to get right is your brothers getting the right skills. Going abroad without a valuable skill is not what you want them to experience. So what's their level of education? If possible and they have interest in tech, let them learn and master software development before leaving the country.

I'll like to talk about a country they can migrate to but that's hard without knowing their level of education.

CornOak:
For someone that has mastered both, what's the next step in the right direction? We (me & camal) appreciate your inputs.

Start with:
- HTML
- CSS

Continue with:
- Vanilla JavaScript (basics)
- DOM manipulation
- Advanced concepts (ES6, closure, etc.)

Look into:
- FE framework (React or Vue)
- NodeJS

vickthorious:
what are the basics in learning how to code..can you shade more light

I really wish I have the time to explain. Good thing is that you can Google this question and you'll get a lot of good answers even better than I might give you.

Nooil:
Some earn 3 million per month. But developer work eh! You have to learn new languages every day to stay relevant. You can be called to work anytime even 2am at night. Abeg, earning big money isn't easy. I

[quote author=aguiyalaebuka post=87247689][/quote]YouTube is the best school I know.

bentwood85:
How long does it take to learn it software development.

Forever, you never stop learning.

dgee1:
Bro please I would like you to guide me. I just began reading an ebook on HTML5 and JavaScript. I've got a laptop but erratic power supply have been an hindrance. I've tried using those Bet9ja shops in my area but that place isn't conducive for learning.

I'm very interested in learning programming and would like to please be under your guide. I'm a complete JJC in the field and I would like to network with people that have been in the game for a long time. Would be glad to hear from you and leran from the contributions of other great techies here. Thanks

I feel your pain, we've all been there. I don't think a bet9ja shop is an ideal environment.

What I used to do years ago, is to work when nepa brings light. Try to study the pattern of how the give you electricity and work during that time. You can also try to get an extra library. Put it an effort to learn HTML and CSS and we'll talk once you master it. Good luck.

Hahjascho:
Can you pls expatiate further?
What aspect of coding...or what type of programming do you think has high prospect?

I wish there was an answer to this question. Just pick up a language and master it. That's the foundation you need.

Carmal90:
After sir? Reason I am asking is to give you breathing space and not disturb you with so many questions...
I really appreciate your response sir.

Forget about "after" for now. Focus on these two, if you master it and build something good with it then feel free free to send me a pm.

Integrafamoo:
I did, but they are people with wrong mentality. Most Ekiti people believe so much in acquisition of certificates

Lmao. Your last sentence is spot on.

Carmal90:
Assuming that I am a novice to code, where will you advise me to start from?bro leave passion alone, I said this because many people will say u should follow your passion, just your best advise for your Lil bro.
Regards

I'd say learn HTML and CSS. If you can master both, then you have a solid foundation. There are loads of tutorials that can help on YouTube and they are free to download. If possible check out Traversy media channel on YouTube. Watching that guy's videos helped me a lot.

If there's one thing I've learnt from this thread it's that the poverty in Naija is real. Poverty also starts as a mindset.

Mid Level Software Developers earn around 250-400k in Nigeria. Seniors earn 500k upwards, in fact sometime last year there was a vacancy in Lekki and the Salary was between 800k - 1m.

If you work remotely for a foreign company as a senior and you're good, you can even hit 1.5m monthly.

Before you try to argue, I've been in this industry for the past seven years.

If you want to be like this get a laptop and start learning how to code.
